Mt. Pleasant Country Club opens new practice facility

Thursday, July 11, 2013

By Morning Sun SportsThe Mt. Pleasant Country Club unveiled its brand-new practice facility Wednesday evening as it hosted a grand ceremony for the event.

In late September a renovation project was launched which included the expansion of the main practice tee, the creation of a teaching tee, the addition of five target greens (three which include bunkers), and the overall dimension of the range was nearly doubled in both length and width. Furthermore, rock walls were added to both the practice and teaching tees while target greens and teeing areas are seeded in bentgrass. The entire range is now irrigated to improve turf conditions.

Approximately 75-100 members and guests were in attendance for Wednesday night’s ceremony which included opening remarks by Mt. Pleasant Country Club President Jim Stark along with ceremonial first drives by Bill Theunissen, Jeanne Murray, Tony and Jeri Waggoner, and Jack Weisenberger.

There were a pair of contests for longest drive and closest to the hole, while a reception followed at MPCC’s new outdoor pavilion.
